Efrem Zimbalist Jr.: Alfred

Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : Here are the reference materials you requested on water purifying systems, sir. Might one inquire what they're for?

  Batman : Someone stole a huge water purification system last month. This device is a miniature test model, which means someone was trying to contaminate the spa's water.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Good heavens. With what?

  Batman : The gas residue was completely oxidized. I can't be sure... yet.

• Batman : [narrating]  He was in no condition to tell me what he was trying to do or who he was working for. My only clues were the strange device he had welded to the drinking water pipe and one half of a video communication link. As for the gas, I thought it had no effect on me, but I was wrong again.

  [as he works, he sees the Joker's reflection in his computer monitor; turning around, he realizes it's just Alfred] 

  Batman : Wha... Alfred?

  Alfred Pennyworth : I beg your pardon, Master Bruce. Did I startle you?

  Batman : No. I must have been staring at the screen too long.
